I have heard of apt-get a few times before, isn't it kind of a package update/install/dependency-resolve type prg? I have tried a few different RPM based systems that use similar prgs to resolve dependency issues.

How do you like apt-get? How well does it to dependency resolution when updating? That always seemed like the real test. URPMI from Mandrake wasn't bad but it sometimes chokes when you try to do an update. I am curious.
